Trevi | Lace Kerchief

$7.00

Design Information

The Trevi kerchief is inspired by the timeless ritual of tossing a coin over one's shoulder into Rome's Trevi Fountain, a small gesture that promises a return to the city and the fulfillment of a wish. The coin lace stitch evokes the shimmering coins glinting beneath the fountain's waters, blended with subtle cables that echo the flowing baroque sculptures around it. Knit in Sparrow, Quince & Co’s organic linen yarn, this kerchief works up at a light, breathable gauge. A small, wearable wish, and a quick, satisfying knit for whenever you need a moment that's just yours.
